Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 pre-made or homemade flaky pie crust (9-inch)

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin or equivalent stabilizer

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

Optional Toppings

  • Chocolate chips or chocolate shavings
  • Chopped peanuts
  • Chocolate sauce drizzle
  • Light sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Bake your pie crust according to package instructions or your preferred homemade recipe. Once baked, allow it to cool completely to ensure it stays crisp when the filling is added.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, creating a smooth, fluffy base for the filling.
  3. Mix Peanut Butter Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, softened butter, and gelatin or stabilizer. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine Cream and Peanut Butter Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture, taking care to maintain the airy texture by folding and not stirring aggressively.
  5. Set the Pie: Pour the combined filling into the cooled pie crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the pie to set and flavors to meld.
  6. Add Toppings and Serve: Just before serving, top the pie with optional chocolate shavings, chopped peanuts, chocolate drizzle, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for enhanced flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth mixing and a lump-free filling.
  • Chill bowls and utensils before whipping cream to maintain volume.
  • Fold mixtures gently to keep the pie light and airy rather than dense.
  • Letting the pie rest overnight improves flavor blending and ensures the filling sets perfectly.
  • Use high-quality peanut butter for a richer and more pronounced peanut flavor.
